PM sent. I have three.

Yes Mac, it is impossible to do business with them but an absolute pleasure to compete with them. I wish they would buy all of my competetors' washes!

3M super duty compound with high speed buffer. Polish with foam pad, then wax or sealer.

The product I was looking for is Klenztone 1 at www.klenztone.com. I will let you all know how it goes, but it has been great in the past. I will find out monday how expensive it is. Nu wall does wonders for aluminum, I do not know about galvanized, and it will streak the crap out of...

Could cleanstone now be called CleanTech? I do remeber that it would discolor bricks.

I have a couple of older vacs that I need to clean. I have used hf on stainless before, but the streaking and etching is not acceptable. I had a product called clean stone, kleenzstone, kleanstone??? that worked great on stainless, but I cannot find it or remember where it got it. Anyone know...

Never underestimate that run down wash down the road. He may give up and sell it to a motivated operator or he could see you raking it in and decide he wants some of the pie and rehab his wash. If there is not another auto in the area, then you might consider a two bay automatic or a tunnel.

I guess that it has been a year now. I have had to reset the unit a couple of times possibly due to customer error??? but other than that, I have not done anything but add soap. My customers do not seem to miss the dryers either. Past time to service it!

From my experience, yes it is worth it, but it is more of a service than a money maker. If your competition has it, you gotta get it. I know of no other options, but there may be some. Yes that is steep. Only way to chage that is the installation. If you can drill a 1/2 inch hole in your...

Oh yeah, I like your top ten. If you make it to #1, its too late!

Mine are Magic Wand. Whatever you get, make sure they are HINGED ON THE SIDE! Vioce response is a nice feature, especially when they say "ca-ching" when the customer inserts money!

It does not seem unordinary in this part of the country for washes to operate on a drain field. Although, this 8 + 1 does have a drain field to end all. It has three pumps and two drain lines, a seperate system for the two bathrooms, and it encompasses nearly five acres! There is not sewer...

Thanks, Mac. The strip club maket is fairly saturated here. Yes, the wash is 10 or 12 years old, but it is a prime location and once prospered big time. The second owners (Koreans) bought 20 acres of extra city property that they expected the wash to pay for and went belly up. I am afraid...

I am restarting a wash that has been closed for about a year. Of course, I am encountering all kinds of headaches from the county. Have any of you ever had to employ the services of an environmental consultant? This wash is on a drain field, hence the environmental stipulations. Thanks, Mitch

20 sec underspray, on board dryers.
